Introduction Of "Corn ,sread."

'Rather than eat maize in tho form of
bread or Of cakes, the Irish poor preferred
to starve for want of tho far less custcin-
ing potato" Efforts made since t,,ut
time to teach the Irish how to cook and
serve this article of food are reported as
without effect.
The writer from whom we quote adj
mits that "unlcss corn becomes fashion
able among the richer classes, it were vain
to hope that it will ever seem palatable to
the poor" This reminds us that it was
precisely in that way that antipathy to
corn was overcome in these colonies.
When the aristocracy breakfasted on
corn bread, and went out to work all day
Oh the thin soil of New En- and, trying
to make a crop of corn for tie next sc.-
son, with nothing to support them in their
labor through the day but few kernels
of parched corn and frightened belt, then
this grain became ''palatable to the poor "
All nonsensical prejudice against this rich
blessing was then weeded out CT the Amer
lean mind.-London Telegraph.

Horses for Western Service.

eft is fact that little range mustangs
and cayuses do better in an Indian chase
or thief roundup than the best Sr,tin
fed horse couscicntiously purchased in the
east under these regulations"
"Whut is the remedy? Do you think
mustangs should be purchased?"
"No. Good, grass fed horses can DO
purchased but understand that move
ment is on foot to establish government
stud farms for breeding horses for the SER
vice. The idea is not new. The French
government maintains four such farms.
When Macmillan came over to conquer
Mexico he brought lot Of government
bred horses, and many Of them were left
behind at the exodus. Down in Durango,
Mexico, the range horses have been inn
mensely improved by crossing with these
horses brought over by the Frcnchmen.
There are some objections TO the proposed
innovation, but it would produce class of
horses well adapted for the service instead
of the present worthless lot of animals
that United States cavalrymen have to
use. Whether practical or not, this
scheme will be pushed. IL it doesn't pan
out. then some way Of getting grass fed
or range horses should be devised. ''-Da-

Her Own Nurscmaid,

one day petting baby that was being

woman who wore the regulation white

Practical Hints,


The following practical hints have been
tested and found useful, says Good House.
keeping, ...-s
Whiting or ammonia in the water is prefer.
able to soap for cleaning windows or paint.
You can take out spots from wash goods by
rubbing them with the yelk Of eggs before
washing.
The lustre Of morocco may be restored by
vanishing it with the white of an egg APP
ply with sponge.
A mote may be removed from the eye, or
the pain at least alleviated, by putting grain
of faxseed under the lid.
Washing the hands twice day with corn
meal, and rubbing on little glycerine at
night, will keep them soft and white.
To remove grease from coat collars and the
glossy look from the elbows and seams, rub
with cloth dipped in ammonia.
The most effectual remedy for Shiny and
greasy drain pipes is copperas dissolved and
left to work gradually through the pipe.

Chicken, Shrimp and Lobster Salad

Chicken, Shrimp and Lobster Salads.
Opinions differ as to the best way to make
chicken salad;- some good authority saying
that the chicken ought to be cut into dice
shaped pieces, and others stating with equal
decision that the larger the pieces the better
the salad, but all agree that it should be cut
with a knife and not be chopped. The celery,
according to correspondent in Demorest's
Monthly, ought to be cut into strips an inch
long, in either case. It is the dressing which
gives distinction to the salad, and 1t Is q Pc
culiar fact. worthy Of thought, that no two
persons make the dressing exactly alike, even
when following the same directions. Mayor
naise dressing, made of the yelks Of two raw
eggs, stirred with the best olive oil, added
drop by drop, is the foundation Of the dress
ing; this is tbinned with vinegar, and sea-
soned with pepper, salt, sugar, mustard,
parsley, and, in fact, with any other season
ing within reach Of the cook, If it be in &C.
cordance with her taste; but the simpler con-
diments are pleasing to most people, II the
fowl is as finely favored as it ought to be.
A pretty looking dish can be made of
shrimp salad. Line some small china cups
with lettuce leaves, and put a large spoonful
Of the salad in the center. II canned shrimps
are used, they should be rinsed in cold water
and well drained; then pour the dressing over
them and let them stand q while, arranging
the cups the last thing before serving, that
the lettuce may be perfectly fresh. Lobster
salad may be treated in the same way, and is
improved il one-third cabbage is used choose
for this the crisp cabbage leaves in the center

Oilcloth ought never to be scrubbed with q
brush, but after being swept may be cleaned
by washing with soft flannel and lukewarm
water or cold tea. On no account use soap
or water that is hot, as either would have a
bad effect on the paint. When the oilcloth
is dry, rub it well with a small portion of a
mixture Of beeswax, softened with a minute
quantity Of turpentine, using for this purpose

team made its debut here to-day and came SO
near beating the Bostons that cold chill crept
down the backs of the home teams admirers
Boyle did the pitching, and for four innings the
Bostons hit him hard; after that they only made
one hit. On the contrary, Stemneyer only
effective for three innings, then the visitors got
on to his delivery for nine hits and rolled up
seven runs. The Hoosiers played a strong up
hill game against heavy odds. and deserved TO
win. Boyle suffered severely at the hands of
Hengle. who has proved himself anything but
competent umpire in the last three games here.
For three innings the visitors retired one after
another with the exception of Seery, who was
left at second after getting his base on balls.
Meanwhile, the Bostons. by tie hard hitting of
Wise Sutton, Burdoak and Stemmeyer
assisted by several errors. scored seven
runs There appeared to be no chance
for the visitors Singles by Denny,
and Shomberg gave them two runs in the fourth;
singles by Seery and Denny produced one more
in the fifth. and in the same inning Denny's
wild throw gave the Bostons their eighth and
last run After that the visitors steady
as well could be. and by good fielding blanked
the Bostons four successive innings. Corcorans
single, Myers's double and poor throw by Bur
dock gave Indianapolis two in the seventh
inning; an error by Wise three-bagger by
Glasscoek, and double by Shomberg. raised
